Question

1 The drop of food coloring spreads slowly.
2 The drop of food coloring spreads very quickly.
A student places a drop of food coloring into two water samples. Her observations are shown in the table. (1 point)
The water molecules of sample 1 are moving faster.
The temperature of sample 2 is higher.
The temperature of sample 2 is close to freezing.
The water molecules of sample 1 are transferring more kinetic energy.

Answer 1

Based on the observations regarding the spread of food coloring in the two water samples, the most reasonable conclusion is that the temperature of sample 2 is higher.

This is because when the drop of food coloring spreads very quickly, it suggests that the water molecules in that sample are moving faster, which is typically associated with a higher temperature. Consequently, the faster movement of water molecules in sample 2 indicates a higher temperature compared to sample 1, where the coloring spreads more slowly.

The other statements either contradict this conclusion or are not accurate based on the given information.
